Migraines?: You may be experiencing a migraine. You can try Excedrin migraine (contains aspirin, acetaminophen, caffeine). There are other prescription meds that might also help.

See your Dr: Ongoing headaches like this are not normal. See your neurologist for a formal workup. This needs to be looked into.

Couple possibilities: Could be recurrent sinus problems or 'muscle tension' headache, but the key may be the feelings of tightness & temple pain.These are most commonly seen with muscle tension ha.The cause, however, is likely coming from your neck (called cervicogenic ha).A good history & phys ex, esp. Osteopathic hands-on exam might find the cause (esp. If jointmuscle) & provide treatment via osteopathic manipulation.
